Hello all. As the title suggests I've been trying, rather unsuccessfully, to emulate FFT on android. I've run into roughly the same issue with the PSX version on espxe and WOTL on ppsspp. The problem being this ever present slowdown during game play. And before you say there's a stickied thread somewhere with an easy to use patch, I'll tell I've already found it and it does in fact work for the most part. In WOTL the game runs buttery smooth during those attack animations but for some unknown reason remains choppy and unstable everywhere else, especially during dialog. With the PSX version the game runs absolutely perfectly except during those attack animations. I'm wondering if there's another slowdown fix for the PSX version or if I'm just being completely oblivious to something extremely simple. I know it's not hardware related because no change in any setting on either emulator makes the slightest bit of difference and considering my phone isn't quite dated or under powered. If anyone has any advice that would be greatly appreciated. I just want to sit back, relax and play some final fantasy. Oh and I'm just going to go ahead and apologize before someone inevitably tells me I posted this in the wrong place.

Let's just say based on the fact that an s3 played it fine I should have no problems with mine. It came out a little over a year ago and was on par with flagships like the pixel that came out last year. And I don't particularly think an fps counter would be lying to me. On the PSX version in the introductory battle whenever someone uses a skill like judgement blade the game slows down to an unplayable level and then goes right back to playing perfectly.

Edit: I did manage to get the PSX version to work pretty perfectly. I switched back to a fresh iso instead of using an older version of 1.3 which may have been the issue. I also lowered the rendering resolution back to the original PSX resolution which more than likely fixed it. Still having issues with WOTL but I'm not fiddling with it anymore.
